At Springer Nature, we recognise that great talent develops through many different paths. We encourage applications from individuals with strong transferable skills, provided they are supported by relevant experience that shows how those skills have been successfully applied in practice. Our hiring approach balances skills, experience, and potential to ensure each role is fulfilled with both short term effectiveness and long term growth in mind.

About Group Publishing Operations

Springer Nature’s Group Publishing Operations (GPO) team manages submit-to-accept business processes as well as internal and external Peer Review Systems (PRSs) for a large portion of Springer Nature’s journals portfolio. We work with different service providers in this space, producing 400K+ articles p.a. We have a workforce of ~500 people across multiple providers and locations, overseen by ~50 SN staff across multiple locations.

About the Role

Springer Nature is iteratively developing a new inhouse platform, the Springer Nature Article Processing Platform (Snapp), to provide a submission and peer review experience that is fast, simple, convenient and rewarding for our authors, editors and reviewers. Developing our own system in-house not only means we can take a fresh approach to engaging with our researchers; it is a competitive advantage for our business and moves us away from having to rely heavily on third party technologies.

The Project Manager is an important member of the Transformation Initiatives team within GPO, currently focused upon the implementation of Snapp across our journals business (approximately 3,000 titles). Reporting to the Manager, Transformation Initiatives, each Project Manager is responsible for the successful transition of groups of titles from their existing Peer Review System onto Snapp. This requires close liaison and cooperation with Editorial teams and colleagues in Technology, Product Management and GPO. You will project manage the transition of journals in specific groups to the new Peer Review System, Snapp. This includes co-creating project plans, accurately tracking and ensuring project progress, and reporting project status. You will also be pivotal in helping journal teams to become active users of the platform, and monitoring satisfaction.

This is a fast-paced project management role that requires an eye for detail, excellent communication skills, diplomacy, stakeholder management, and a focus on delivery.

This role is offered on a permanent basis and is based in our London office on a hybrid working model. The location strategy supports team structure and aligns with business needs.

Role responsibilities:

  • Liaise closely with key stakeholders in Editorial, guiding them through the transition to ensure a smooth and successful adoption of Snapp, from initial engagement, through migration and onto the management of the submission to acceptance end-to-end workflow, balancing stakeholders
  • Work closely with the Transformation Initiatives team and stakeholders to ensure the project is communicated in a timely and structured way, for both internal and external Editorial colleagues, communicating effectively
  • Engage with the Snapp delivery teams in Technology and Product Management who are responsible for delivering the services and systems that are dependencies for success, ensuring goal alignment
  • Engage with teams working on projects that are not directly part of the migration, but which could impact business objectives.
  • Track activities and progress and work with stakeholders on regular and accurate reporting.
  • Facilitate the resolution of workflow blockers and challenges, bringing in other colleagues as necessary, in order to meet the agreed targets for title adoption and article submissions, using conflict management skills and resourcefulness
  • Support the Transformation Initiatives team with other projects as needed, including migrations between publishers, peer-review systems, GPO service providers, systems, and publishing models, as well as journal launches and closures.

Experience, Skills, & Qualifications:

Essential

  • Proven project management experience.
  • Experience of journal publishing workflows, specifically around the ‘submit to accept’ workflow.
  • Experience in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.
  • Experience in the successful transition of new technologies and workflows in a commercial environment.
  • Experience of negotiation and successfully integrating customer and operational requirements.
  • A good understanding of the research publishing landscape and how journals and journal publishers serve the research community.
  • Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with confidence to coordinate operational complexity and communicate effectively with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders.
  • Strong data analysis and reporting skills.
  • Excellent office software skills, specifically in managing spreadsheets and project plans.
  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent work experience.

Desirable

  • Formal project management qualification such as Prince 2 is desirable but not essential.

To apply, please submit:

  • A CV
  • A brief cover letter explaining your interest in the position
